Superintendent profits while district falters

David Hunn of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports on Riverview Garden School District superintendent, Henry P. Williams. Williams "directed at least $85,000 in extra payments to his retirement and insurance accounts," payments not included in his contract. The paper's investigation shows that these deposits started about four years ago. In addition to financial improprieties, the districted has faltered under his direction. Numerous teachers have resigned and academic standards have plummeted. In last year's state performance review, the district only passed in 3 of 12 categories.
